Hello,

I’m working on a wordpress site and have the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin installed. Our objective is obviously to sync our wordpress site with the Discourse forum so that when a post is published to the site it is also published to Discourse.

However until now it didn’t work much. While creating a post, even with the “Create new Topic” Discourse box checked, it does not work and the post isn’t created in the forum.

I went to the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin settings and to me everything seemed to be fine (everything isn’t obviously fine and I may have done something wrong as it doesn’t work), the Discourse API key is correct as well as the SSO secret key, as I’m also trying to use my wordpress site as an SSO provider.

I noticed in the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin settings that there were two error messages, when accessing the “SSO Provider” and “Connection” tabs:

which is quite problematic because there IS an admin user with this email address on the forum (myself).  
and most importantly, “You are not connected to Discourse. If you are setting up the plugin, this notice should go away after completing the form on this page.”

Soooo my wordpress and Discourse don’t seem to be synced. Can I please get some help in order to solve this ? Feel free to ask if you need more information - I guess you obviously do
